Please help the development of the driver: send your
/sys/class/em8300/em8300-0/device/model file
(with the embedded form filled).
If you don't do it, your card may be unsupported in the next release.
The more information you give, the better. So please avoid as much as
you reasonably can the "not tried" answer.

Support for i2c 2.8.0 has been merged by Nicolas Boullis
and the SuSE patch has been removed. Please give it a try
and look for a new release in a few weeks. If anyone can
provide a patch to support kernel 2.6 please contact
David or me.

SuSE has provided us with an em8300 modules patch which adds
support for i2c 2.8.0. If you want to use that version of i2c
please fetch em8300 from CVS and apply the patch located in the
modules subdir.

RedHat 9 uses a kernel with code backported from the
2.5-branch. Due to this very few drivers will work with this
kernel without modification.
Marcel Janssen is
maintaining a modified version of the DXR3/H+ driver for this
reason.em8300-0.13.0-RH9.tar.gz
and em8300-20030726-RH9.tar.gz.
Please stop bugging the mailinglist about this.
